once upon a love x j.t. x h.s.

can't love you more than this

28th August 2019

It's been two weeks since Jade and I started going on dates. Our groups have been nothing but supportive to us, and I have been busy trying to make sure I don't screw this up again. 

We are currently back in London, preparing for one of our last concerts tonight. Only a week of touring left, and we'll be done with touring. I'm not looking forward to the tour to end though. Once the tour ends, One Direction will be releasing a new single and promote it for a few weeks, before going back for our solo career. For me, it means back to America. Little Mix will take a few weeks break and then they will start touring for LM5. Which means I won't be able to see Jade for a few months. I can't imagine not seeing her for so long, now that I'm used to seeing her every day.

Jade and I have been going on numerous dates in the two weeks, Sam even praised us for being able to squeeze time for each other even though our schedules are packed. If we're not performing, we're doing interviews and promos for our collab. If not interviews, we are probably busy writing songs.

"Hey," Jesy greeted as she sat on the couch next to me.

"They are not back yet?" I asked. The other six members had gone out for lunch but Jesy and I stayed behind. Jesy decided to sleep in while I had a facetime interview with one of the American radio.

"Not yet," Jesy opened a packet of crisps. "Want some?" She offered but I shook my head, still full from the heavy breakfast I had with Jade earlier.

A comfortable silence falls between us, only sounds of Jesy chewing the crips could be heard.

"So uh," Jesy started, "Not trying to meddle in, but when are you guys making it official?"

"Huh?"

"Don't tell me after all the dates you went with Jade, you're not planning on asking her to be your girlfriend," the older girl narrowed her eyes on me.

"I will! It's just that, I'm afraid," I admitted. "Little Mix and One Direction, well, we've been linked a lot of times. Remember when Perrie and Zayn were still together? Perrie got so much shit. I don't want Jade to go through the same," I sighed.

"Hey," Jesy's voice softened. "There's nothing to worry. Jade is strong, she'll be able to handle it."

"What about you and Liam?" I asked back.

"What about us?" Jesy continued to eat her crips, a nonchalant look on her face.

"Aren't you guys making it official?"

"Who says we're not?" I choked on my saliva, my eyes widened as I stared at the older girl.

"What? We were waiting for yall to ask, but no one did," she shrugged.

"Wait, since when?" I refused to believe Liam had not told us anything.

"Quite new, don't worry, you're not missing out too much."

"Oh. Are you scared? Of revealing your relationship to the public."

"I'd be lying if I said no. Of course, I'm afraid. I'd be expected to act as a role model for Bear. But you know what?" Jesy looked me, "It will be worth it."

I felt a grin crept across my face. "Liam's lucky to have you." 

Jesy shrugged though I could see her smiling at the mention of Liam. "I'm lucky too. So?"

"So what?"

"Are you serious? I told you all that and you can still pretend to be ignorant?"

"Chill," Jesy punched my shoulder, "I have a plan actually, tonight."
